As hospitalizations of COVID-positive patients fall, Los Angeles County is on track to potentially relax some outdoor masking rules next week.
L.A. County’s daily tally of new cases would need to fall below 730 to meet the CDC definition. While that metric has dropped like a stone as of late, it remains 12 times higher than that target,An advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday will consider approving the vaccine for the youngest children, and an advisory panel to the CDC is meeting the following week.
Some have criticized L.A. County’s approach to lifting restrictions as too slow, continuing to subject residents and businesses to a burden that won’t be shared by the vast majority of other Californians. “I feel that it’s not even realistic. I mean, we’d have to completely eliminate COVID in order to get to a point where we’d be lifting most of these restrictions,” she said during Tuesday’s board meeting.
However, Ferrer said it’s important to recognize that, for all the recent progress, coronavirus transmission remains elevated throughout the region.We’re not trying to set the bar too high at all. We’re actually trying to set a reasonable bar that says to us: It’s much safer for our workers and our most vulnerable people to have masks off when there’s not as much transmission,” she said.
